Brake squeal
My front brake used to squeal like anything, The fix is dead simple remove the brake pads and put a little grease on the back of each disk. The squealing is caused by the disk vibrating. Putting a bit of grease on the back of the disk eliminates this.
Hope this helps.

Yeah seems to be a thing with EBike especially on the front.This is what I did with mine. Removed the brake pads from housing roughed the pad up a little to remove glaze,cleaned the pads put a little grease on the back of the pad (the metal bit that goes against piston)popped the pads back in, pins through checked for safety.Bobs your uncle no more squealing.

You did not mention how old these brake pads are because (you will read in the article) some pads are made to squeal when they are worn out and need replacing.
Good luck!

I ended up taking a chance and simply changing the pads to the Kool stop pads..
